2. INSTALLATION

Power Supply Voltage • Do not use any AC adapters other than the one provided as a

standard accessory. • Confirm the power supply voltage. • Confirm that the voltage of the power supply conforms to the one

indicated on the AC adapter. Installation Site The ideal operating environment for the balance is in a location where

the temperature is 20°C ± 2°C with a relative humidity of 45 - 60% RH and the conditions are stable.

Install the balance on a solid table. Ideally the table should be made of stone. Choose a site that is dust free and is not exposed to vibrations, wind, direct sunlight or electromagnetic fields.

Do not place the balance in an environment where it will be

exposed to corrosive or flammable gasses.

Installation Procedure (1) Install the pan supporter then the anti-draft ring and finally the pan

in this order. (2) Level the balance by turning the leveling screws to bring the bubble

of the level indicator into the red circle. (3) Verify that the pan is empty and connect the AC adaptor to the

outlet. (4) After self-check, the balance automatically performs span

calibration and OFF is displayed. It is not possible to interrupt the span calibration that occurs right after the power is turned ON. Span calibration is not performed with the AY series balances.

(5) Press the POWER/BRK key. “Whole lighting” is displayed for about 1 second then the balance automatically goes to a zero mass display and the balance is ready for weighing.

(6) Press the POWER/BRK key in the mass display to put the balance in the STAND-BY mode. The STAND-BY symbol illuminates indicating that the balance is in the STAND-BY mode.

(7) Allow the balance to warm up for 4 hours in the STAND-BY mode. (8) Conduct the Performance Check. See Section 28. “Performance

Check.” (9) Set the date and time on the balance. See Section 25 “DATE” and Section 26 “TIME.”

6

Moving the Balance • Before moving the balance, confirm that it is not in the process of

span calibration. Unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet and transfer the balance.

Disconnecting the power supply or moving the balance during span

calibration or check may cause balance failure. 3. WARM-UP • Warming-up the balance for at least four (4) hours allows for

accurate measurement. • Do not disconnect the AC adapter even when the balance is not in

use. Instead, press the POWER/BRK key to put the balance in the

STAND-BY (warm-up) mode. • Disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet if the balance will not

be used for a period of one month or longer. 4. PRECAUTIONS Observe the following precautions.

Note: • Do not insert metal tools inside the balance housing. • Do not open the balance housing. • Do not allow water or other liquids to enter the balance housing. • Do not place a load on the pan that exceeds the mass range of the

balance. • Do not allow magnetized articles near the balance. • Do not connect any instruments to the balance connectors other

than those designated in this manual. • Do not drop anything on the pan. • The doors to the weighing chamber are glass. Open and close

them carefully. • Before transporting the balance, pack the balance into the original

shipping carton to prevent damage.

7. SPAN CALIBRATION (Sensitivity Adjustment) The electronic balance measures mass by electronically compensating for

terrestrial gravitation. Since gravitation acceleration varies slightly in different areas of the world, span calibration is required when the balance is installed. Temperature also affects accuracy. Calibration should be performed whenever there is a significant temperature change. It is good practice to calibrate the balance before making important measurements and whenever the balance is moved or disturbed, such as if something falls on the pan.

Though the temperature coefficient of sensitivity of the balance is adjusted at less than ±2ppm/°C, readability 0.1mg corresponds to 1ppm (0.1mg/100g = 1×10-6) in regards to 100g weighing. This means that a slight temperature change may cause a measuring error. The AW series balances are designed to automatically perform span calibration when there is a change in room temperature. This feature is called "Automatic Span Calibration (PSC)" and is only available on the AW series balances. The stability of sensitivity is maintained within ±2ppm regardless of any change in environmental temperature. It is possible for the operator to perform span calibration at any time. This is referred to as "Manual Calibration." Manual Calibration can be performed using an external weight (AW/AX/AY series) or the built-in weight (AW/AX series only).

Span calibration can be automatically performed at designated times up to three times in a day. This is referred to as "Clock-CAL" and is only available on the AW series balances.

7.1 Span Calibration Using the Built-in Weight Only the AW/AX series balances have the built-in weights. The following

procedure describes span calibration using the built-in weights. Procedure (1) Warm-up the balance. See Section 3. “WARM-UP.” (2) Verify that the balance is level. (3) Verify that the balance pan is empty and press the →O/T← key to

Troubleshooting the WindowsDirect Communication Function If the WindowsDirect communication function doesn't run properly, check the

following points. If this doesn't resolve the problem, contact your Shimadzu representative.

Q1 WindowsDirect communication has been set but it is not operating at all. A1 • Check the type of communications cable used for the connection (Shimadzu

authorized part or another part available on the general market) and the soundness of the connection.

• If a USB serial converter is used, depending on the circumstances at the setup there is a possibility that it has been automatically set to a COM port number higher than 4, and in this case you should reassign it to a COM port number that can be used by serial key devices (COM1 to COM4).

• It is possible that the driver used as an accessory with the USB serial converter has not been set up properly. Try uninstalling the driver and installing it again.

• Some notebook PCs feature a setting for disabling RS-232C ports as a power-saving measure. Before trying to use the WindowsDirect communication function, make the setting that enables the use of RS-232C ports.

• Communications with other applications and PCs via a LAN may interfere with the serial key device settings. Try using WindowsDirect communication without using the LAN.

Q2 The WindowsDirect communication function won’t work after I restart the PC. A2 • Some PCs don’t recognize that a serial key device has been set when they start

up. For details on how to deal with this, contact your Shimadzu representative. Q3 I want to use the WindowsDirect communication function with Windows Vista. A3 • Windows Vista doesn’t have the serial device setting screen that is required to

set the WindowsDirect communication function. For details on the setting, contact your Shimadzu representative.

Q4 Data is input to the PC as garbled characters. A4 • Either the balance or the PC is not set for the WindowsDirect connection

function. Make the settings again by referring to “Setting the Function” ( page 94).

Q5 When data is input into Excel, the cursor doesn’t move to another cell. A5 • If a function for conversion to 2-byte characters is available in Windows, turn

the setting for this function off. • Click the [Edit] tab under [Options] in Excel and check [Move selection after

Enter] (if cells move in response to keyboard input there is no problem). • Check the input data in another application (e.g. Notepad).

Q6 The operation is sometimes abnormal. A6 • Depending on the processing capability of the PC, malfunctions may occur if

the communications speed is high. Set 300 bps for the communication speed. Malfunctions may also occur if the interval for data transmission from the balance is too short. Ensure that one batch of data is displayed on the screen before the next batch of data is sent. And if there is limited processing capability, don’t use the continuous output function.

• When data is sent from the balance, don't touch the PC’s keyboard or mouse.
